Septal Myectomy Consideration

I thought of another question for those who had their septal myectomy. I know everyone's healing is different. I sit at a desk for my job and have my own business. How long would you all recommend I plan to be out of commission. I know there is no driving for the first month and likely very uncomfortable during that time so figured I'd be at least 1 month out of work, maybe the second month half-time? Any thoughts around this?

I think that is good planning. You are healing in a-lot of ways that can make you tired. Pressure of NOT having to perform while you heal is truly the best gift you can give yourself!
